Treasury  of  the  Confederate  States,      I 
Richmond,  Va.,  Feb.  25,  1865.  \ 

Sir  : — During  the  Fall  of  1861,  the  supply  of  Treasury  notes  is- 
sued being  inadequate  to  meet  the  public  engagements,  a  temporary 
arrangement  was  made  with  sundry  banks  of  the  Confederacy  to 
furnish  the  necessary  funds  to  make  up  the  deficiency. 

The  Act,  chap,  xiv,  approved  December  19,  l86l,  legalizing  the 
transaction,  appropriating  $10,000,000  to  redeem  tlie  obligations  of 
the  government  on  that  account.  The  amount  actually  received 
from  them  was  $10,602,132  24,  which  will  necessitate  a  further  ap- 
propriation of  $602,132  24.  Be  pleased  to  request  that  this  ap- 
propriation be  made. 

Very  respectfully, 

Your  obedient  servant,
